Volunteer Day

Hits: 189

The Town of Waldoboro, under the direction of the Board of Selectmen, is working on a special project to honor Waldoboro residents who dedicate their time volunteering for our community. On April 18, 2015, we will celebrate Waldoboro Volunteers Day. The event will be held at Miller School from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are trying to compile a complete and exhaustive list of individuals who volunteer their time in an effort to better their community. We don’t want to leave anyone out. It doesn’t matter if they are a resident as long as they volunteer their time here in Waldoboro. This letter is being sent out to many organizations that may have volunteers in their staff. We are asking the leaders of the organizations to please help us with our quest. If you could take some time out of your busy day to provide us with as much of the following information as you can, it would be appreciated beyond words:

A list of the volunteers in your organization,

A list of other community volunteers you can think of (please list even the obvious - we would rather have the same name show up 100 times, than miss a person), and

A list of other volunteer organizations that come to mind (in case we missed any, we would like to send them this letter too).

The time is closing in on us, and we will be sending invitations to the volunteers, so please respond as soon as possible. These people selflessly volunteer for the betterment of our community and we feel they deserve a little recognition. Responses can be mailed to Town of Waldoboro, ATTN: Liam Ducharme, P.O. Box J, Waldoboro, ME 04572, Email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or drop it off at the Town Office.
